Rufous Hummingbird.

Double your impact for birds before midnight. 134 annual donors needed.

A pugnacious species known for its copper penny coloring, the Rufous Hummingbird is at a crisis tipping point. If climate change continues unchecked, 71% of their current breeding range—and over 50% of their winter range—could be lost. With 3 billion birds lost since 1970 and one-third of U.S. birds in need of conservation action, we must work harder than ever to protect those that remain. Their future, and the future of many species in a similar situation, depends on what we do next. Will you do your best for birds in this time of crisis? Be one of the 134 bird lovers we’re depending on to start an annual donation before midnight tonight. Thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift could be matched, up to $500,000, for the birds you love.

The situation is dire—but there’s hope in our collective action, and we have practical, effective solutions. With 120 years of expertise under our wing, we use research, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation to protect birds and the places they need. Together with bird lovers like you, we’re restoring and improving the resilience of important landscapes, successfully advocating for climate legislation at the state and federal levels, and transforming communities into places where birds flourish. None of this would be possible without supporters like you—people who care about birds and are ready to help protect them, today and tomorrow. Please, join us with an annual donation while, thanks to a group of generous donors, your first gift could be matched for birds and their habitats. Sincerely, National Audubon Society
